• Is the proposal relevant to the goals of the ACS – is it cancer-related?
• Does the proposal have scientific merit?
• Is there potential that this ACS funding will lead to extramural funding?
• Is the budget reasonable for the proposed work?
• Can the work be completed in 12 months?

Only full-time faculty at the Assistant Members/Professors with no active peer-reviewed funding within six years of initial faculty appointment may apply.

Since 1993, the American Cancer Society-Institutional Research Grant (ACS-IRG) has enabled the Moffitt Cancer Center (Moffitt) to fund the cancer-related pilot projects of over 70 junior investigators. The ACS-IRG is a unique source of funding entrusted to Moffitt that provides seed money for young investigators interested in cancer-related research. While the grant is administered at Moffitt, eligible applicants at Moffitt, the University of South Florida (USF) and the Ponce School of Medicine (PSM) may apply.
